All-time great manager Dusty Baker retired a Houston Astro after four sensational years with the team. Fans finally thought Houston’s glory was over, until now.
End of an Era…Nevermind
From 2017-2023, the Houston Astros finished first in their division six out of seven times, going to four World Series, and winning two. It seemed with the retirement of the legendary Dusty Baker, the team might finally fall back down to earth. The 2022 world champions had an abysmal 14-25 record to start the year. Then the Astros did what they do best: defy the odds and make MLB fans frustrated.
Sorry, Not Sorry
Since May 11, the Houston Astros have gone 38-22, taking over first place in the American League West division. As we enter the final stretch of the MLB season, it seems like Houston will only continue to excel.
Wrap Up
The last time the Houston Astros did not make it to the American League Championship Series was 2016. With the way they are currently playing, it doesn’t seem like their intention is to end that streak. They may not be as dominant as in previous years, but I can assure you no one will want to play them in October.
